04 Mar 2013

Within the framework of “Live Lebanon” initiative by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in partnership with Bank of Beirut and the Arab Countries (BBAC), UNDP in cooperation with the UN Information Centre in Beirut organized a press conference to launch a one-year partnership with Al-Jadeed TV and sign a memorandum of understating. The press conference took place at the Movenpick Hotel.

Participants in the press conference included Goodwill Ambassadors of the “Live Lebanon” initiative, namely: famous Lebanese singer Assi el Hellani, Mr. Ghaleb Farha, Mr. Fadi Salameh, and Mr. Fadi Zouki. This is in addition to a number of prominent media figures.

The “Live Lebanon” initiative connects Lebanese individuals and associations around the world committed to local development projects in Lebanon.

These projects are implemented in cooperation with the local communities, especially municipalities, to support community priorities related to youth, health, environment, and income generating activities.

Through this partnership, Al-Jadeed TV will contribute to raising awareness about living conditions of local communities, strive to highlight the most pressing needs of deprived areas, and incite all Lebanese people to “Live Lebanon… Indeed” through contributions to the initiative.
